The BlackTurtle brand expanded its services to include the Turtle Network, which was founded in April ’18 by ‘Mr Turtle‘.

Turtle Network is based on Waves Platform technology, a Particle Network with many inherited elements and benefits.Benefits are many and noted on the ‘Value Proposition page‘ but also include many Gateways which allow tokens to be sent To and From the network, the tokens currently include;

TurtleNode (To and From the Waves Platform)LitecoinWavesBitcoinand more…The Turtle Network also utilizes the TurtleNode (TN) token, as the base token for the network.

Many future improvements, new gateways and additions are planned and can be tracked on the roadmap:

BlackTurtleNode

Description: Pool running on the Waves Platform.Rewards: 99% of Rewards are distributed once per week, 10 TurtleNode (TN)/Block will be distributed and each pay-out proportional to staked amount.Total Waves Leased to Pool: 734533.49572322

Waves secures its network with a stake leasing protocol.Every node that has a balance of greater than 10,000 Waves has a chance to produce a block.Nodes who have fewer than 10,000 Waves can lease those Waves to a pool. This makes it possible for smaller stakeholders to combine forces and help secure the Waves network.Note: Because the Waves you lease do not leave your wallet, leasing is completely safe, and you may discontinue leasing at any time.

TurtleNodeBot

Description: TurtleNodeBot notification service for the Waves Platform, on Telegram.Summary: @TurtleNodeBot on the Telegram mobile/web application.

To get registered please use the command /chatid. This will tell your ‘id‘.Make a transaction with 1 $TN towards 3PQjMPKiRBim5tBGigzJmWko6tfRRtpi63W with your ‘id‘ as an attachment.U will be added to the system. If u are not sure feel free to contact BlackTurtle.If u are added to the system and u hold 10k TurtleNode you can add price notifications.If u have tips and suggestions always feel free to share.When not having 10k $TN (TurtleNode) the bot will give an error in the end.

I really don't mind them putting it in cold storage but they need to do it correctly.

Turtle network<=>gateway<=>WavesPlatform(100 million TN)<=>gateway<=(100 million TN)

The data from the earlier posts show there areover 20 million TN on TurtleNetwork side while only a bit over 18 million TN was send to TurtleNetwork from WavesPlatform through the gateway.

It is fine to put something in cold storage but the issue here is the gateway has become non-auditable and non-transparent. Every coin should be backed at a 1:1 ratio. As of now, only if the correct number of TN in 'cold storage' on the WavesPlatform side is moved to the TurtleNetwork side, this ratio will hold. There is no harm in holding these coins in 'cold storage' on the TurtleNetwork side. I would like to see the gateway numbers add up.

Can the gateway owner of the turtle network be asked to comment?

The easiest way to get in touch with the gateway owner of the Turtle Network is in Telegram.Your free to ask questions to blackturtle.

This may be you're first impression but it isn't a scam, yes it's an fork from waves and the wallet needs improvements to gain his own identity, but this isn't a scam.

You are allowed to fork open-sourced code. That is fine. The software license allows you to. So is changing color or making profit. That doesnot make it a scam.

Another question is will they copy Waves new smart-contract or make their own? Once you fork, you are expected to go in your own direction and make things the original didn't do.

There are two parts to it1. Ideology2. Source code

It is easy to have a new ideology but needs to be backed with significant original source code contributions to justify a fork. Granted the fork is only a few weeks old and takes a bit of time. Curious, how does Turtle Network address this? What original source code projects are in the pipeline?

waves blackturtle eu:## Turtle Network - Weekly Update - 30/4/2018 ##Summary; Achieving network stability with more nodes is going well, 150% increase in nodes from last week but more nodes are required (lets try get to 20 in the next week). Some great development on Gateways and Pywaves, which is fantastic progress in a short amount of time, well done to all.

You are allowed to fork OpenSource code. That is fine and the license says so but when there's just Copy-Paste I smell scam.Do you want to bet they will Copy/Paste smart contract too?This fork is one hundred percent Copy/Paste work, and you will have a confirm as soon as smart contracts arrive on MainNet.Useless fork.

It is common in the Linux world for linux distributions to merge back updated kernel code as its development progresses. However, they(distributions) make sufficient code contributions which attracts different groups of customers.

The speed at which Turtle-Network is progressing is still interesting. Considering it only costs a fraction of Waves and if it fixes some of the issues surrounding Waves gateways, it should attract more projects. This is what investors will be looking for. Will be watching this project to see if it has any merit.

Thanks for asking the questions,

At this moment the Turtlenetwork is the same as the wavesplatform, i don't deny that.Possible the smart contracts function will be copied also when tested and released.

I write this from my own perspective (i am "just" an investor and not the developer), at this moment the Turtlenetwork must first build the stones to build upon, creating a fundament to build on is important at this moment, behind the scenes there is a lot of progress how to develop the Turtlenetwork in it's own unique way.This project is a few weeks old and needs time to prove itself and be a functional product for usage. When new things are developed turtlenetwork will be so transparent as possible. That is all what i can say at this moment, hope i can answer this question better in the future.

## Turtle Network - Weekly Update - 07/05/2018 ##Summary; More Nodes are still required, our 1st milestone target is 20 nodes. The team are also working hard in the backend, the information will be forthcoming once milestones are completed, so keep supporting & glad to have you on the journey with us.
